Previous office-holders
Between 1979 and 1988, the Department of Corrective Services was managed by a five-person Corrective Services Commission. This model had been recommended by John Nagle in his royal commission report. From 2009, the Commissioner served as a deputy secretary within the larger Department of Justice. Although commissioners have generally been recruited from other professions, both the incumbent and his predecessor began their careers as prison officers.
